Girl, if anyone deserves kudos, it's you. You're nailing school while juggling life events so monumental that they would flatten anyone else... and you've shouldered your way through PLURAL events, not singular. Try not to forget your own accomplishments. <3

Madame Catherine Mennear
Madame Mennear is by far my favorite teacher at Wake Tech! Her French classes were so fun and easy to engage in, and her personality is the best! She made coming to class something to look forward to. I just wish I could take her class every semester!

Dawn Harvel
Dr. Harvel is the most caring, understanding and helpful instructor I have ever had. She makes learning fun and exciting. She has made the best of the lack of in person classes and still managed to do an outstanding job teaching and advising. She cares about her students and it shows in a big way!

Dr. Dennis,
I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for your hard work. Teaching is not an easy calling and sometimes underappreciated. The lengths and time spent to ensure students still receive a quality education in the midst of a pandemic is awe inspiring. Thank you again.

Professor Norton,

I wanted to say thank you. With this being my first semester in college after retiring from the military I had my doubts about my ability to be successful. You have been encouraging and supportive the entire time and even in virtual learning have had a positive impact for me.
